investigating the sheriff's deputy involved in the death of a 17-year-old boy. >> so this started when deputies from both stafford and fauquier counties responded to a crash on clyde road in fauquier county around 4:00 this morning. >> it ended with a deputy shooting and killing that teenager at a nearby home. surae chinn has more. >> reporter: well, you know, this can all be a little confusing, because the crash and the shooting happened in fauquier county, but it was a stafford deputy who actually it sheet and killed the 17-year- old, and now virginia state police are leading the investigation. the bottom line is deputies shot and killed the 17-year-old wielding a knife. let me show you video we shot earlier today. it shows a single car crash happened down the road around 4:00 this morning. that blue hundred day. deputies were called to the scene to what appeared to be a

dui crash. the investigation led officers to a house a half mile away in the 12000 block of tackets road. deputies went to the house and the suspect had a knife. that's when an officer pulled out a gun and shot and killed the. here's what virginia state police had to say. >> an altercation occurred at the residence, and after stafford deputies entered the residence an altercation ensued with a 17-year-old male who was wielding a knife and attacked one of the deputies. >> reporter: now, virginia state police have not identified the 17-year-old who was killed this morning. by the way, it is common practice for fauquier and stafford counties to work together on incidents when they happen right on the county line. again, state police have not identified the 17-year-old but

i went ahead and called fauquier county public schools, and they will only say, quote, that they are waiting official notification from state police to find out if it is one of their own students. that very sad situation, any way you look at it, but, of course, fauquier county public schools says they are waiting for official notification. we are live in stafford county, surae chinn, 9news now. d.c. police say they were forced to shoot and kill a man who attacked an officer this morning. that incident began with the police getting a call that the suspect was assaulting his granddad in the 3500 block of 17th street northeast. >> when they arrived on the scene and were approaching the house, apparently the suspect who had been outside came up from behind the officers and attacked the officers. >> that officer was stabbed several times in the neck, the head, and the hands. police say the 10-year vet then shot the suspect.

the officer, the granddad both taken to the hospital. their injuries described as non- life threatening. the serial groper strikes again. fairfax county police are investigating an 8th report of a man groping a woman, then running off. the latest incident happened around 4:00 p.m. yesterday in the 7200 block of commerce street in springfield. a 23-year-old woman says she was grabbed from behind as she stood at a bus stop. >> we hadn't had a situation in a little over a week, so sometimes people may unfortunately be letting their guard down. we hope that people will maintain their awareness and vigilance, in the only the women and girls, but also men, drivers, motorists, workers, whoever in the area. keep your eyes open. if you see something suspicious don't hesitate to contact police. >> the victim gave investigators a description fitting the same suspect in the previous groping. anita. at least 41 new yorkers died in superstorm sandy. nearly half of them on staten

island. hundreds of residents need food, water, gas, and they say help is not coming fast enough. we have a look at the damage. >> reporter: anita, the scenes of devastation here in staten island are really unbelievable. four days after the storm images like the one you see behind me, a telephone power pole completely uprooted out of the ground, surprisingly common. sandy's force is very visible on staten island. in the harbor boats are piled on top of each other. houses are torn from their foundations and pushed hundreds of feet away into the marsh. homes are boarded up, some with signs begging for help. >> i've been completely devastated. >> reporter: this 16-year-old came to this distribution center to get supplies for her whole family. >> we came here to get some food and water for us because we have no heat. >> reporter: she is not alone. hundreds of residents are suffering. they say the city, state, and federal government sig norring

them. >> no one is really here to help us. we need help. >> reporter: this distribution site in staten island relies on donations, and people bringing in everything from clothes, blanket, and much needed food. many neighborhoods are without power. police have arrested several looters. many are angry the mayor is going ahead with the new york city marathon which begins on staten island. >> we have to find some ways to express ourselves and show our solidarity. >> reporter: in manhattan gas lines stretched for blocks for cars and containers. >> if you've got to get gas, you've got to wait. >> reporter: passenger restrictions for cars are being lifted. the hole hand tunnel between new york and new jersey has reopened for commercial vehicles and buses. one of the biggest issues now facing the folks here in staten island is temperatures. tonight they are slated to dip into the 30s, and a lot of people that we're talking to right now are concerned they don't have any power and they're not sure how they're supposed to stay warm.

reporting in staten island, back to you. in new jersey more than a million and a half people are still without power, and cars are also lining up for miles. sandy interrupted fuel deliveries and supplies are running low everywhere. without power to run the pump, more than half the state's gas stations are closed. in atlantic city police are allowing residents back in to survey the damage. traffic backed up for miles while officers checked id hoping to keep out looters. the national guard has been instrumental in helping to keep order in communities affected by seabed. the director, harry bud wyatt, talked to us about his teams are helping with the recovery. >> but so far in this one, we're doing okay with the airlift that we have. a lot of the needs are provided by the army national guard on the ground. but the air national guard assists in some of those, too. security forces, medical,

engineering, communications, logisticians. >> he will be a guest of vago muradian on "this week in defense news." we want you to know 9news is teaming one the red cross to donate to victims of sandy. all you have to do is like us on facebook and we will donate one dollar to the american red cross sandy relief fund. the suspect in three pipe bomb attacks in northern virginia is expected in a montana court this evening. lawrence stewart ii was arrested in montana yesterday after a nationwide manhunt. two cascade sheriff's deputies say they couldn't help but drive right over the top of a pipe bomb that stewart threw at them. in an affidavit, they say they bringsed for the explosion, but it turns out that bomb exploded directly behind their car after he drove over it. stewart is now charged with attempted deliberate homicide in montana. here in virginia he is accused

of trying to blow up law enforcement officers' houses. and a maryland police officer accused of shooting a e prosecutors argue that riley shot calvin kyle in the back as kyle was trying to get away. kyle was handcuffed at the time. the officer had stopped the suspect for allegedly trying to steal a motorcycle. you are paying way too much long. >> coming up later, this virginia mom is going to show you some easy ways to slash that bill in half. lots going on this weekend. the terps are in town, the redskins in town. we'll have an updated weekend forecast and a possible nor'easter next week. but first, which candidate does today's unemployment report help more, president obama, or perhaps it's mitt romney. we'll be joined live by cbs news' bob schieffer coming up next.

keely and bianca thompson. keely, keely, keely and bianca thompson. accokeek. keely's district boxing and youth center. accokeek.

we are coming down to the wire, and on the presidential campaign trail, president obama and mitt romney are both targeting undecided voters who may be influenced by today's unemployment report. the jobless rate rose a 10th of a point from 7.8 to 7.9%. it is the highest number an incumbent president has faced on election day since franklin roosevelt. employers added 171,000 new jobs in october. 45,000 more than many analysts anticipated. and the labor department says hiring over the summer was better than previously thought. both president obama and mitt romney campaigned today in the battleground state of ohio. with election day just days away the final push in the presidential race will be the focus of this week's cbs news "face the nation." joining us from new york is the host, bob schieffer. bob, does today's unemployment report in your mind favor the president more or governor

romney more? >> well, i think the people at the white house breathed a great sigh of relief that it didn't go above 8%, which it has been much of this year. so in that sense i suppose it helped the president. but, you know, lesli, it's hard for me to see someone sitting around their kitchen table saying, i don't know who i'm going to vote for, but when those jobs numbers come out, then i will decide. that's not how people decide whether they think the economy is good or bad. they do it on whether uncle charlie has a job or whether their kid finally has enough money to move out of the house and get his own apartment, things like that. so coming this close, we've been saying this was going to be very, very important, but this race is so close, i'm not sure in the end that it really is going to make all that much difference. >> as i understand you are going to have two key panels on this weekend's show to kind of break down the presidential election, the razor tight

presidential election. >> yep. yeah, we're going to have every analyst, every commentator east of the mississippi river be with us sunday, and i hope they have a better idea who is going to win this thing than i do, because i'm at the point, lesli that i have no idea. this thing has been close from the start, but it has gotten really, really close here at the end. you look at the polls in these battleground states. i would goes, and i'm just going to put it at no more underlying of saying that it's just a guess, that probably mitt romney is going to win north carolina, one of the battleground states that barack obama won the last time out. but you go across these nine battleground states, and they're all basically within the margin of error. either one of these candidates could win any of these battleground states on election

night. the popular vote, it is also, most of the polls are showing it basically in a tie. so who is going to win? i don't think you can really say right now. >> all right. well, we'll know for sure in about four days. could be a very long night before we find out. we'll be watching, and we'll be watching you as well. >> it will be a long night. that's the one thing we can say for sure. >> that's the one thing we do know. all right, bob, thanks so much. we'll be watching you this weekend. derek. sky 9 out over a big water main break today up in bethesda. this is at the adagio condos in the 6800 block of wisconsin avenue. a line connected to a new main sprung a leak. several cars were flooded at the lowest level of the garage. it was under two or three feet of water. water service to the adagio and other buildings was restored but the break lasted for hours. county officials warn that repair work could affect the evening rush hour, but what will really affect it is seeing

your car underwater. the district employed 700 snowplow drivers today. it was just a drill. the mayor's snow team conducted their annual dry run to get ready for the winter weather that topper is excited about. the goal to make sure the city's fleet is ready for a snowstorm. more than 1,000 members of the snowplow team taking part in the exercise this morning out at rfk stadium. of course, we all know that it will be warm and sunny all winter long and those folks are doing all that stuff for nothing. >> let's hope not. breaking news, they just canceled the new york city marathon. >> did they? >> they just canceled it. >> so i guess the backlash proved to be too large. >> even though a lot of folks were already there to participate in it, that was the problem. the other thing, a it lot of calls in the weather office and e-mails, a lot of communities in garrett county are cut off. there's 30 inches of snow and they cannot get back to their communities, and some of the homes have not been b winterized yet, so all kinds of problems. >> all because of sandy.

>> all because of sandy. that's not a name that's going to -- >> do you think they will retire that one? >> i think they will. even though technically it was not a hurricane when it hit our coast. >> who cares about technically? >> that's what rules are for, young man. let's take a live look outside. it's our michael & son weather cam. feels like march, but not that unusual. blustery, 5 1. dew points in the 20s. winds west-northwest at 17. so you really to have dress for the 30s and 40s tonight. look at the winds. 28-mile-per-hour gust in gaithersburg, 29 at andrews, 30 miles per hour wind gust in martinsburg. for the most part they will be with us all night and to some extend through tomorrow. still producing a little bit of lake-effect snow and rain showers for the circulation of sandy. this will give way eventually to partly cloudy skies but some lingering showers will continue all weekend. we should be in better shape over the weekend. temperatures with the windchill, feels like 39 in

gaithersburg. feels like 43 in leesburg. if you are going out to a high school game dress for the 30s tonight. feels like it's 25 for our friends over in oakland across the divide. so windy again, cold for high school football. windchills in the 30s. a cold start tomorrow. will you need your jacket and your sunglasses all day on saturday. which is kind of good. we've not needed our sunglasses too much. for tonight partly cloudy, windy and cold, a one-blanket night. winds northwesterly 10 to 20 and gusty. tomorrow breezy and chilly, need a jacket. 30s and 40s. winds out of the northwest 10 to 15. so early in the morning windchills will be in the 20s. i hope to see sue out for the autism speaks walk across from the national history museum. an easy walk. no pets please. terps forecast, partly cloudy, windy and chilly. yellow jackets in town. 48 to 5 4. you will need a jacket for the entire game,

especially if you are in the shade. by afternoon, partly cloudy, windy and chilly. highs saturday afternoon in the low 50s. next three day, 9 weather alerts green, green, green, some good news there. 52 saturday, 53 sunday, 52 on monday. next seven days, we have kept the election day quiet. partly cloudy with temperatures generally in the mid-50s. we're still watching the possible nor'easter on wednesday. it may stay out to sea, it may come up the coast. looks like it's going to be a miserable day if it comes up the coast. milder behind the. mid-50s thursday, low 60s on friday. so again, they have canceled the new york city marathon. that is crazy. >> yeah, man. >> actually not surprising really when you consider the backlash. >> you look at the numbers of people. >> but they should have done it sooner. you're already up there. now what do you do? >> we're just saying. coming up, the final shuttle to orbit the earth

arrives at its final resting place. but first, d.c. is raising the fines on some traffic enforcement cameras, bringing them down on others. we are going to break down the details after the break.

more than 25 miles over the speed limit by one of those cameras. >> in consultation with mpd, g- dot and dmv i make these changes not only with fairness in mind but also considering the threshold for pedestrian and biker safety. what speeds will result in higher chance of injury or fatality and what speeds should result in a lower infraction but still represent a deterrent. >> mayor gray's changes to the policy do not require council approval so they are scheduled to take effect next monday. well, four astronauts and 200 workers gathered at cape canaveral today to see is space shuttle "atlantis" out tin open one final time. atlantis, the last shuttle to orbit the earth, was moved into retirement, 10 miles away to the kennedy space center's main tourist area. that is where the shuttle will be put on display next summer.

you can judge for yourself. on north frederick avenue they're known for the hot rotisserie chicken. inspectors say the problem was their refrigerated restaurant chicken was stored at a potentially dangerous 65 degrees. >> watch your step here. >> reporter: the manager took us downstairs showing us they replaced a thermostat gauge and now their signature chicken is in the safe zone at 40 degrees. just off the u street corridor on 9th street northwest the doors were still shot at this ethiopian restaurant when we stopped by. inspectors cited the restaurant for operating with no hot water and no food safety manager. at this restaurant inspectors cited mouse droppings on the floor. also live roaches on the counter and on a cutting board during food prep. when we came in, it wasn't just

mia's pizza oven that was paining hot. >> i'm not sure why you feel it necessary. >> reporter: we cover all the closures. if you want to show us what you've done to correct it, we'd be willing to take a look. ma'am, don't touch the equipment. >> don't take a picture of me! >> reporter: that was mia, the owner and chef. but you've got to give her credit, just a few minutes later -- >> i apologize. >> reporter: she returned. >> if you want to come in, definitely, please come in. >> reporter: i can look all the way underneath here and see back there, and there's no sign of rodent or roaches. >> she blames the infestation on an abandoned building next- door but says they've already bleached and sanitized inside, and exterminators have external nature at mia's. >> it was unexpected, you know. we had been taking extreme measures to alleviate this problem, and we'll continue to do so. >> reporter: mia's and all the restaurants passed reinspection and are back in business.

for 9 wants to know, i'm investigative reporter russ ptacek, 9news. when you think of companies that need start-up money you don't necessarily think of pepsi but that didn't stop the soda giant from getting more than a million dollars in federal aid. pepsi wants to get into the greek yogurt business. even though it has billions of its own money the government recently gave it tax breaks and incent ifers as well as 200 grand to build a road to the new york factory. as a result, the washington guardian awards this week golden hammer award for government waste to the commerce and agriculture department for giving pepsi the bill. >> if the rules change and we can only buy 12 instead of 35, maybe that would be an excuse. >> if someone wants to give me a million dollars, i will make over a bathtub. >> no extra rodents. >> nobody wants that. >> give me the million dollars
